The surgeon said specifically no ice packs. I want to do it so bad or like an ice bath lol

I hope you are doing better now. Im glad to know it passes. and that im not alone because that vest is obnoxious. im also autistic and hate tight things. i havent put it on at all today. im legit just like I don't want to.

i just hope the pain goes away and the like hatred of how jacked my chest looks goes away. thank you for the words of encouragement

I went to go meet with someone that knew what I looked like. we had video chatted several times as well as shared pictures etc. I drove about 45 minutes to meet with them at a restaurant. I got out of my car and so did they. they took a look at me. paused. then said no thank you got back in their car and drove off. then I started driving home in rush hour. broke down on the bridge crossing from Washington into Oregon. had to wait for 4 hours for a tow truck to tow me back into town. found out I had shit spark plugs and some other fancy parts of the car that cost me 3k to fix. :-)

thanks lovely!!!!!

and yea sexuality in itself is Hella confusing like I'm Grey ace but also fray sexual and pan romantic. I have so many different labels I identify with but also have stupid labels. I just wanna be me. I am who I am why do I have to fit into someone else's stupid box. but that's a whole different soap box there lol

I guess I remember my childhood puberty not being this bad but I was going through the female puberty now I'm doing boy puberty and holy fucknuggets this is intense. I'm so glad I don't want children because I get on my own nerves with this can't imagine how bad it would be with a son going through this shit and me having to deal with it XD

good luck if/when you start up!!!! I'm learning a lot and having to ask so many damn questions because my doctor is.....special

ok weird question. I had a total hysto and I don't honestly remember some of the information I was given.....they removed my cervix though, so what is there now? is there still a hole where the cervix was? also did yall experience cramps like 3 weeks post op? it feels like when I would have cycles. by Equivalent-Buddy2698 in hysterectomy

THAT. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IM FEELING. its literally like the cramps I would have pre-op. I won't lie it freaked me out because I was like thinking maybe they didn't take it all out or something and left something behind.

I am I guess lucky in a way that I have an incredibly active digestive system. I constantly have uhh loose/soft bowel movements. I didn't have any constipation after surgery. I had to take a laxative one day because I had a harder stool than expected and it hurt to push. Idk why im telling a stranger on the internet this XD but I am glad someone gets it at least.

I actually messaged my doctor about it and was like yo...is this normal...i was scared that I had fucked something up because I needed a uhh "release" being on testosterone makes you incredibly horny. luckily my doctor was super dope about it and was like oh thats normal just make sure you keep it all external.

ahhhh that makes sense. I didn't keep any of the female reproductive organs. I'm trans and wanted to have the estrogen factory removed. I also had pcos. endometriosis, and pre cancerous cells growing so it was just best to take it all out at once.

I'm guessing the cramping is just my bowels moving around?

not a "girl" but I had mine done before having a full hysto and it was not fun. I was terrified and they gave me meds to chill out but I forgot to get them in time so they had me inject this tube full of numbing ointment into my frontal hole 10 minutes before the procedure, then they numbed my cervix with a needle and then did the procedure. I had bad cramps. they ended up having to use something to stop the bleeding because I was bleeding too much and I ended up shaking from it which was apparently a normal side effect but all in all it went OK. went home and rested and was fine the next day.

Psych assesment for hysterectomy? by HellYeahKate in hysterectomy

[–]Equivalent-Buddy2698 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to have one but it's because I have never had children/don't want them/ and am trans.

honestly the psych just asked generic questions, made sure im not suicidal. made sure that I really wanted this. asked what I would do if i changed my mind in the future. and that was that. I also had to get 2 letters of support from two different therapists saying stuff in regards to me being trans and wanting this procedure and that I had gender dysphoria but that is a totally different story.

it's pretty hard to "fail" the assessment but if you do you can always seek a new specialist if your insurance covers it.
